First speakers announced for AOP Digital Publishing Summit

The Association of Online Publishers (AOP) is launching (23 July 2010) its annual flagship Digital Publishing Summit with the theme “Building World Class Digital Media Businesses”, to be held at Westminster Bridge Park Plaza on 15 October 2010.

The one-day AOP Summit www.ukaop.org.uk/aopsummit2010 will be split into sessions with keynote speakers and panel discussions, looking at current market trends, issues; and opportunities impacting on, and transforming, the industry. Four key areas of insight will be explored:

· producing world class editorial content
· developing new avenues of revenue generation
· building B2B value in a B2C world
· how harnessing and investing the best technology makes businesses fit for 2011 and beyond.

The morning will feature a strong line-up of business leaders and innovators in their own right – including Evelyn Webster, CEO of IPC Media; Stephen Miron, CEO of Global Radio; Matt Brittin, Managing Director of Google UK and Tim Brooks, Managing Director of Guardian News and Media – examining the criteria needed to lead the world in innovation and whether the UK can claim to have the best digital media businesses.

Lee Baker, Director of AOP says, “This event is designed for digital publishers to come together to discuss key issues affecting our industry and their businesses. We are expecting the usual strong turnout, with lively debates, healthy discussion and business-forming networking taking place throughout the day. Delegates will have the chance to hear from some of the top innovators in the digital industry, and we’re looking forward to welcoming the publishing industry to our annual event.”
